Actually, the textual problems of Auden (as compared with Sir Thomas Wyatt)
are less beyond belief than hysterically funny.
They can be tracked, but the track tends to overlay Auden's revisons and
excisions with Mendelson's editorial judgments.
The end result is a baroque curnucipia of ... delights.
